Thanks Blue, climbing of all styles to be had out there it seems...The OWs have been getting alot of attention from us though...

It's fun to go out to these zones with new people...many different ideas and eyes scanning the rocks makes for problems I don't even consider...Y'all need to motivate out here and give us some input :)

just to the left of 'Sally' is a good looking mantel problem...campus up to that dark blob and pull over...

EDIT:

Do you have a pocket in your pads to hold the bear spray?

Not too many bears to worry about in this area...big cats are more on my mind than anything...though I've yet to have an encounter...

you guys have a great thing going on and "backwaters" i take to be code for fully blessed to be right here, right now with these buddies in these crags. that ow wrestling match on that gritty stuff is only for the truly inspired, driven and gifted. in my day i threw myself under every roofy grotto i found and the exuberance blinded me one time to the "paddle cactus" prickly pear that i plopped myself down onto for the start. it was a long hike back the to mouth of the clark's fork (of the yellowstone) holding my carhart's off my cheek full of needles. want to thank mojede for his comments about the passing of rob hart, good friend.(more soon) your thread is what led me into supertopo from a basic google search on rob and i'm thrilled to see so many old friends on this site. montana day's meant a lot to me and appearantly donini too, as he named his daughter Montana the night before we scaled some cliff in leavenworth. i guess he'd know the date...Jim?

Hooblie I named my son Montana. You can't not like places that have grizzlies, wolves and wolverines in sufficient numbers that they are not endangered. 147,000 sq. miles and less than a million people- you have to like that. Just a little to far north for me at this stage in my life.

I think it's more a matter of population and that the larger more obvious formations were the objectives BITD...there seems to be still a good amount of bouldering and shorter single pitch stuff if you're willing to explore. I do have to say I'm always pleasantly surprised in what we ind out there....

Bruthas- I have lurked through probably all your bouldering posts and while this one maybe isn't the raddest, it's the one i finally respond to!!!
There's nothing quite like exploring for boulders in the woods- and finding gems. What a great lifestyle it is, living close to so much rock, with new stuff waiting around every bend.
It was a major part of my trip living in Prescott and I miss it!

I'll probably go back to lurk mode, but just wanted to let you and your gang know I dig how y'all do it. Good on ya, dudes!
